Bathrooms designed for warmth While kitchens are often the busiest spaces in the home, bathrooms are places of retreat. Homeowners are moving away from clinical, purely functional designs and embracing bathrooms that feel warm, restorative and connected to the natural world. Earthy colour palettes, organic materials and tactile surfaces all contribute to a calm atmosphere, helping transform everyday routines into moments of comfort and relaxation. “Bathrooms are increasingly being designed as sanctuaries within the home, which is why the choice of materials is so important,” says Ant, our Global Product and Innovation Director. “Engineered timber is a great choice for well-ventilated bathroom spaces, bringing underfoot warmth and natural character to a room that can otherwise feel dominated by harder, colder surfaces. Thanks to its stable multi-layered construction, engineered timber is less susceptible
to shrinking or swelling than solid wood, making it a practical solution for environments where moisture levels can fluctuate. When specified correctly and maintained properly, it delivers both the durability required for everyday life and the long-lasting appeal of real wood.” Bathrooms are increasingly being designed as sanctuaries within the home Ant Scott, Global Product and Innovation Director
